If in the case of any Conversion Notice such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Company shall immediately return this Note if tendered for conversion, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice of revocation, except that any amounts described in Sections 3.3(b) and (c) shall be payable through the date notice of rescission is given to the Company.

(b)       The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder such shares via DWAC or a certificate or certificates pursuant to this Section hereunder by the Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to such Holder, in cash, an amount per Trading Day for each Trading Day until such shares are delivered via DWAC or certificates are delivered, together with interest on such amount at a rate of 10% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full, equal to the greater of (A) (i) 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for the first five (5) Trading Days after the Delivery Date and (ii) 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Note requested to be converted for each Trading Day thereafter and (B) $2,000 per day (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall be entitled to withdraw a Conversion Notice, and upon such withdrawal the Company shall only be obligated to pay the liquidated damages accrued in accordance with this Section 3.3(b) through the date the Conversion Notice is withdrawn.

Section 3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

(a)       The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i)       Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, effect a stock split of the outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.5(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.

(ii)       Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying, the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

(1)       the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

(2)       the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

(iii)       Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date, make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other than shares of Common Stock, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the holders of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Company which they would have received had this Note been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period), giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.5(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(iv)       Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall be changed to the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.5(a)(v)), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

(v)       Adjustments for Reorganization, Merger, Consolidation or Sales of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date there shall be a capital reorganization of the Company (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends or distributions provided for in Section 3.5(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), or a reclassification, exchange or substitution of shares provided for in Section 3.5(a)(iv)), or a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation where the holders of outstanding voting securities prior to such merger or consolidation do not own over fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the merged or consolidated entity, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties or assets to any other person (an “Organic Change”), then as a part of such Organic Change an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such Note into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property of the Company or any successor corporation resulting from Organic Change. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the Organic Change to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.5(a)(v) (including any adjustment in the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares of stock or other securities deliverable upon conversion of this Note) shall be applied after that event in as nearly an equivalent manner as may be practicable.

(vi)       Issuance of Common Stock Equivalents. If the Company, at any time after the Issuance Date, shall issue any securities convertible into or exchangeable for, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”), other than the Note, or any rights or warrants or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, shall be issued or sold (collectively, the “Common Stock Equivalents”) and the aggregate of the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent, plus the consideration received by the Company for issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent divided by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalent (the “Aggregate Per Common Share Price”) shall be less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect, or if, after any such issuance of Common Stock Equivalents, the price per share for which Additional Shares of Common Stock may be issuable thereafter is amended or adjusted, and such price as so amended shall make the Aggregate Per Share Common Price be less than the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time of such amendment or adjustment, then the applicable Conversion Price upon each such issuance or amendment shall be adjusted as provided in the first sentence of subsection (vi) of this Section 3.5(a) on the basis that (1) the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued (whether or not such Common Stock Equivalents are actually then exercisable, convertible or exchangeable in whole or in part) as of the earlier of (A) the date on which the Company shall enter into a firm contract for the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent, or (B) the date of actual issuance of such Common Stock Equivalent. No adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price shall be made under this subsection (vii) upon the issuance of any Convertible Security which is issued pursuant to the exercise of any warrants or other subscription or purchase rights therefor, if any adjustment shall previously have been made to the exercise price of such warrants then in effect upon the issuance of such warrants or other rights pursuant to this subsection (vii). No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent where an adjustment to the Conversion Price was made as a result of the issuance or purchase of any Convertible Security or Common Stock Equivalent.

(vii)       Consideration for Stock. In case any shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalents shall be issued or sold:

(1)       in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Company is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as such Board may determine to be attributable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities, rights or warrants or options, as the case may be; or

(2)       in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company for stock or other securities of any corporation, the Company shall be deemed to have issued a number of shares of its Common Stock for stock or securities or other property of the other corporation computed on the basis of the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, and for a consideration equal to the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Common Stock is issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.5(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b)       Record Date. In case the Company shall take record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be such record date.

(c)       Certain Issues Excepted. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to make any adjustment to the Conversion Price in connection with (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to a bona fide firm underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities, (iii) securities issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or outstanding on or prior to the date hereof or issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, (v) securities issued in connection with strategic license agreements or other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital, (vi) Common Stock issued or options to purchase Common Stock granted or issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plans and employee stock purchase plans as they now exist and (vii) the payment of any accrued interest in shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Note.

(d) No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.5 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any Note as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Note shall have issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

(e)       Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.

(f)       Issue Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.

(g)       Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the average of the Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

(h)       Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times when this Note shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of this Note and all interest accrued thereon; provided that the number of shares of Common Stock so reserved shall at no time be less than one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note and all interest accrued thereon are at any time convertible. The Company shall, from time to time in accordance with Utah corporate law, increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Section 3.5(h).

(i)       Regulatory Compliance. If any shares of Common Stock to be reserved for the purpose of conversion of this Note or any interest accrued thereon require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Company shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, endeavor to secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.

Section 3.6 Prepayment.

(a)               Prepayment Upon an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Sections 2.1(a)-(j) and 2.1(m)-(o) hereof, the Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to prepay in cash all or a portion of this Note at a price equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest applicable at the time of such request (the “Event of Default Prepayment Price”). Nothing in this Section 3.6(a) shall limit the Holder’s rights under Section 2.2 hereof.

(b)              Prepayment Option Upon Major Transaction. In addition to all other rights of the Holder contained herein, simultaneous with the occurrence of a Major Transaction (as defined in Section 3.6(e) hereof), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to prepay all or a portion of the Holder’s Note at a price equal to one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest (the “Major Transaction Prepayment Price”).

(c)               Prepayment Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holder contained herein, after a Triggering Event (as defined below), the Holder shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to prepay all or a portion of this Note in cash at a price equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest and (B) in the event at such time the Holder is unable to obtain the benefit of its conversion rights through the conversion of this Note and resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion hereof in accordance with the terms of this Note and the other Transaction Documents, the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest hereon, divided by the Conversion Price on (x) the date the Prepayment Price (as defined below) is demanded or otherwise due or (y) the date the Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is less, multiplied by the VWAP on (x) the date the Prepayment Price is demanded or otherwise due, and (y) the date the Prepayment Price is paid in full, whichever is greater, and (ii) all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of this Note and the other Transaction Documents (the “Triggering Event Prepayment Price,” and, collectively with the “Major Transaction Prepayment Price,” the “Prepayment Price”).

(d)              Major Transaction. A “Major Transaction” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(i)       the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into another Person (other than (A) pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company or (B) a consolidation, merger or other business combination in which holders of the Company’s voting power immediately prior to the transaction continue after the transaction to hold, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities); or

(ii)       the sale or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s assets (based on the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) other than inventory in the ordinary course of business in one or a related series of transactions; or

(iii)       closing of a purchase, tender or exchange offer made to the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were tendered and accepted.

(e)               Triggering Event. A “Triggering Event” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:

(i)       the suspension from listing, without subsequent listing on any one of, or the failure of the Common Stock to be listed on at least one of the OTC Bulletin Board, Nasdaq SmallCap Market, Nasdaq National Market, American Stock Exchange or The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days;

(ii)       the Company’s notice to any holder of the Note, including by way of public announcement, at any time, of its inability to comply (including for any of the reasons described in Section 3.8) or its intention not to comply with proper requests for conversion of any Note into shares of Common Stock; or

(iii)       the Company’s failure to comply with a Conversion Notice tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Note within ten (10) business days after the receipt by the Company of the Conversion Notice; or

(iv)       the Company deregisters its shares of Common Stock and as a result such shares of Common Stock are no longer publicly traded; or

(v)       the Company consummates a “going private” transaction and as a result the Common Stock is no longer registered under Sections 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

(f)               Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction. No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Major Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Major Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Major Transaction”) to the Holder of this Note. At any time after receipt of a Notice of Major Transaction (or, in the event a Notice of Major Transaction is not delivered at least ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction, at any time within ten (10) days prior to a Major Transaction), any holder of the Notes then outstanding may require the Company to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction, all of the holder’s Notes then outstanding by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction”) to the Company, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction shall indicate (i) the number of Notes that such holder is electing to prepay and (ii) the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(b) above.

(g)              Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event. Within one (1) business day after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Triggering Event”) to each holder of the Notes. At any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any holder of this Note may require the Company to prepay all of the Notes on a pro rata basis by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event”) to the Company, which Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event shall indicate (i) the amount of the Note that such holder is electing to have prepaid and (ii) the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, as calculated pursuant to Section 3.6(c) above. A holder shall only be permitted to require the Company to prepay the Note pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof for the greater of a period of ten (10) days after receipt by such holder of a Notice of Triggering Event or for so long as such Triggering Event is continuing.

(h)              Payment of Prepayment Price. Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction from any holder of the Notes, the Company shall immediately notify each holder of the Notes by facsimile of the Company’s receipt of such Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction and each holder which has sent such a notice shall promptly submit to the Company such holder’s certificates representing the Notes which such holder has elected to have prepaid. The Company shall deliver the applicable Triggering Event Prepayment Price, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.6(i), to such holder within five (5) business days after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event and, in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 3.(f), the Company shall deliver the applicable Major Transaction Prepayment Price immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction; provided that a holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Company; provided further that if the Company is unable to prepay all of the Notes to be prepaid, the Company shall prepay an amount from each holder of the Notes being prepaid equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the number of Notes held by such holder relative to the number of Notes outstanding) of all Notes being prepaid. If the Company shall fail to prepay all of the Notes submitted for prepayment (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy such holder of the Notes may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, the applicable Prepayment Price payable in respect of such Notes not prepaid shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Prepayment Price in full to a holder of the Notes submitted for prepayment, such holder shall have the option (the “Void Optional Prepayment Option”) to, in lieu of prepayment, require the Company to promptly return to such holder(s) all of the Notes that were submitted for prepayment by such holder(s) under this Section 3.6 and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the “Void Optional Prepayment Notice”). Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) and prior to payment of the full applicable Prepayment Price to such holder, (i) the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction, as the case may be, shall be null and void with respect to those Notes submitted for prepayment and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Notes submitted to the Company by each holder for prepayment under this Section 3.6(h) and for which the applicable Prepayment Price has not been paid and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Notes shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice(s) of Prepayment of Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction or the Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Triggering Event, as the case may be, is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Prepayment Notice(s) is delivered to the Company; provided that no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect. A holder’s delivery of a Void Optional Prepayment Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. Payments provided for in this Section 3.6 shall have priority to payments to other stockholders in connection with a Major Transaction.

(i)                Company Prepayment Option upon Major Transaction. Upon the consummation of a Major Transaction, the Company may prepay in cash all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Holder (the “Company’s Prepayment Notice”) at a price equal to one hundred thirty percent (120%) of the aggregate principal amount of this Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest (the “Company’s Prepayment Price”); provided, however, that if a holder has delivered a Conversion Notice to the Company or delivers a Conversion Notice within such thirty (30) day period following delivery of the Company’s Prepayment Notice, the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued but unpaid interest designated to be converted may not be prepaid by the Company and shall be converted in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof; provided further that if during the period between delivery of the Company’s Prepayment Notice and the Company’s Prepayment Date (as defined below), a holder shall become entitled and elects to deliver a Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Major Transaction or Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder upon Triggering Event, then such rights of the holders shall take precedence over the previously delivered Company Prepayment Notice if the holder so elects. The Company’s Prepayment Notice shall state the date of prepayment which date shall be the date of the consummation of the Major Transaction (the “Company’s Prepayment Date”), the Company’s Prepayment Price and the principal amount of Notes plus any accrued but unpaid interest to be prepaid by the Company. The Company shall deliver the Company’s Prepayment Price on the Company’s Prepayment Date, provided, that if the holder(s) delivers a Conversion Notice before the Company’s Prepayment Date, then the portion of the Company’s Prepayment Price which would be paid to prepay the Notes covered by such Conversion Notice shall be returned to the Company upon delivery of the Common Stock issuable in connection with such Conversion Notice to the holder(s). On the Company’s Prepayment Date, the Company shall pay the Company’s Prepayment Price, subject to any adjustment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, to the holder(s) on a pro rata basis. If the Company fails to pay the Company’s Prepayment Price by the third (3rd) business day after the Company’s Prepayment Date, the prepayment will be declared null and void and the Company shall lose its right to serve a Company’s Prepayment Notice pursuant to this Section 3.6(i) in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company may effect a prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.6(i) only if trading in the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading), and the Company is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents.

(j)                Prepayment at the Election of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the Issuance Date and ending on the date which is one hundred and eighty (180) days following the issue date, the Company shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 3.6(j). Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Company is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Company shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Company shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 130%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, at any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred and eighty one (181) days following the issue date and ending on the date which is thirty days thereafter, and for each subsequent thirty day period thereafter, the Company shall have the right, exercisable on not less than three (3) Trading Days prior written notice to the Holder of the Note to prepay the outstanding Note (principal and accrued interest), in full, in accordance with this Section 3.6(j). Any Optional Prepayment Notice shall be delivered to the Holder of the Note at its registered addresses and shall state: (1) that the Company is exercising its right to prepay the Note, and (2) the date of prepayment which shall be not more than three (3) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the Optional Prepayment Date, the Company shall make payment of the Subsequent Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Company at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Company exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Company shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Subsequent Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to 135%, multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment. For each subsequent thirty day period, the Subsequent Optional Prepayment amount shall increase by 5% of amount payable.

Section 3.7 Inability to Fully Convert.

(a)               Holder’s Option if Company Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company cannot issue shares of Common Stock for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Company (w) does not have a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and available, or (x) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Company or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Stock which is to be issued to the Holder pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then the Company shall issue as many shares of Common Stock as it is able to issue in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:

(i)       require the Company to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Company is unable to issue Common Stock in accordance with the Holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price per share equal to the Triggering Event Prepayment Price as of such Conversion Date (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”);

(ii)       void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice).

In the event a Holder shall elect to convert any portion of its Notes as provided herein, the Company cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which such Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of all or of said Notes shall have been issued and the Company posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in an amount equal to 130% of the principal amount of the Notes the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder in the event it obtains judgment.

(b)                 Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Company shall immediately send via facsimile to the Holder, upon receipt of a facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice from the Holder which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.7(a) above, a notice of the Company’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Company is unable to fully satisfy such holder’s Conversion Notice, (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted and (iii) the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price. The Holder shall notify the Company of its election pursuant to Section 3.7(a) above by delivering written notice via facsimile to the Company (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).

(c)                 Payment of Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Notes prepaid pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(i) above, the Company shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, provided that prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Company has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Company shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on a timely basis as described in this Section 3.7(c) (other than pursuant to a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Prepayment Price), in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid, (ii) receive back such Note, and (iii) require that the Conversion Price of such returned Note be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment and (B) the lowest Closing Bid Price during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date the Holder voided the Mandatory Prepayment.

(d)                 Pro-rata Conversion and Prepayment. In the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of the Notes on the same day and the Company can convert and prepay some, but not all, of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Company shall convert and prepay from each holder of the Notes electing to have its Notes converted and prepaid at such time an amount equal to such holder’s pro-rata amount (based on the principal amount of the Notes held by such holder relative to the principal amount of the Notes outstanding) of all the Notes being converted and prepaid at such time.

Section 3.8 No Rights as Shareholder. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Company.
